I dont think laptops or cell phones are permitted but you can step out of the sporstbook and use your cell phone.Comment -
depends upon which sportsbook. some do some dont. i live out here.Comment -
Wow. I guessing none of you live in Vegas.
You are allowed Cellphones like any other public place, but you just cant use it while placing a bet.
I use my laptop at the sportsbook everyday. Its not illiegal, or prohibited. Though what some sportsbooks do is have technology that blocks electronic signals. So when you sit down in the sportsbook your phone has no signal, and you cant use your wireless internet service.Comment -
i live in laughlin dude. there are a few casinos that do not allow cell phones. fact. i live at the sportsbooks. it is up to the discretion of each casino.Comment -
haha no waaaayyyyComment -
lol. my best friend is a ticket writer. been out here 8 yrs. i will repeat this one last time; it is up to the discretion of the casino.Comment -
the sportsbooks in Mexico laptops are a no go and cells are ok.Comment -
Your not supposed to use cellphones but its not really enforced at most places in sportsbook. It is enforced in the casino.Comment -
the reason I ask about laptops is because I want to run some programs that I have for horse racing on a laptop and its easier to have them on a laptop than printing all of it off.I will not be placing wagers on my laptop.Comment -
Go to the Hilton. They have the best sportsbook for horses and LAPTOPS are allowed. I see them all the time when i am thereComment -
Gravy, check your mailComment -
Wynn, Caesars, Rio all have signs up saying "no laptops in the sportsbook".
Venetian told Tomato to put his laptop away or leave, Palazzo didn't care though.
Hilton doesn't care (obviously). Don't quite remember MGM's policy.
Stations casinos (GVR, Red Rock) didn't have a sign up but I don't think they'll like it.Comment -
They changed this law a few years ago and they now allow both in the SB. Lots of guys walk around with cellphones in there, that isnt an issue. Now you might catch some grief if you are standing at thw window with either one.Comment -
MGM Books = No.Comment -
You're not allowed any laptop or cell phones in the sportsbook areas....the entire place is wired with video cameras and you're being watched like the North Korean DMZ....anyone who tells you otherwise hasn't or doesn't live in the area.
pavy nailed it...if you've got a room...problem solved. You'll find beards hanging around making bets with phones outside the book area.Comment -

Last 2 times I was at Palazzo, there was no problem using a laptop. Of course, I was actually betting with Palazzo, not just sitting there.Comment -
What books in vegas don't block the signals and allow the use of laptops? Anyone do this regularly?
It's not a big deal if you have a room there to just handle your business in the room but it would be good to know which sportsbooks you can sit down in and use the laptop.Comment -
i just got back from the golden nugget and a cell phone at the book is no problem. a few other casinos out here do not allow it so one more and last time lol.....it is up to the discretion of the casino.Comment -
Why do they not allow laptop or cell phone? I don't get it.Comment -

Interesting, I'm leaving to Las Vegas in the morning.Comment
